ShareEveryone knows a remodel can get expensive…fast.
To save money on her kitchen redesign, Alison Spear “faked” metal kitchen cabinets by spray painting them with car paint at a shop. So clever.
What are your great money-saving makeover ideas? We’d love to hear about them.

Wow! did not know you could do that they look like real metal very shiny.
Great idea! Cost savers sometimes don't look too hot – but this looks great! Good job.
Awesome finish!
It is very difficult to achieve metallic finishes on wood. This one was very well done.
I'm interested in what the cost was and for how many cabinets? I assume just door fronts only were painted. Did you just take them to any auto detailing shop?
Great little kitchen. Fantastic idea and the finish is fabulous!
I've been looking for information like this for quite a while and found your blog post. Thanks so much for the information.
